Actually you might be able to buy it at your local pet store where I live I can get one from Pet Smart but you should check if they have one in stock. Hedgehogs can be between $100 to $300. Also it depends where you live in these states they are banned California; Georgia; Hawaii; New York City; Omaha, Nebraska; and Washington, D.C. Other states and cities may have specific restrictions or require a permit to keep one.
The only good place to buy a hedgehog is from a reputable breeder. In the related links, there are two lists put up. The hedgehog breeders alliance, and the HHC breeders list. The second has not been updated, but does have some quality breeders that are USDA certified.
Please keep in mind that just because a breeder is USDA certified, DOES NOT MAKE THEM A GOOD BREEDER.
Look to see that the breeder you are looking at -
See the links below for lists of hedgehog breeders - but do your research on all of them before buying. You may also find breeders not listed here by completing a internet search of your area via Google, bing, etc.
Though I do not recommend it for first time owners, you can rescue a hedgehog.
Never buy hedgehogs or hoglets from a pet store!Hoglets from pet stores are sub par (poorly bred, poorly socialized, poorly fed, poorly housed, sickly) 99.99% of the time. Do NOT encourage bad breeders and the pet stores themselves by buying these animals. You will pay 10 times more in the long run buying a bad animal then you will buying a good one in the first place!
Consideration on the cost of owning a hedgehog -A pedigreed, healthy, and well socialized hedgehog from a reputable breeder will cost you $150-300 in the American market. If you can't afford the hedgehog itself, you probably cannot afford proper care, which includes -
All in all, this venture can be very, very expensive.
There are also links to pages on hedgie care.some pet stores might have them but it is a lot better to get them from a breeder who knows what the are doing and make sure you check out the breeder and animals to make sure they are all healthy
I have a hedgehog myself and you can find them in the newspaper of anylocan exotic breeders but there are some bad places tofind them to like i thewild hedgehogs do NOT live in America but you can buy them here the are origanaly demesticated in Africa but it mainly depends on where you live and you state, in some states is it eligalto have thhem as pets
well some pet stores do have hedgehogs, but it would be better to find a breeder near you. If you live in New Jersey there is a breeder the company is called jersey hedgehogs. I got my hedgehog from there and my hedgehog is so friendly even when i first got her they play with them so much at a young age!
hope i helped :)
Never, never, NEVER buy a hedgehog from a petstore!
Hedgehogs are animals that require devoted attention and care. Petstores do not breed quality animals, and the hedgehogs do not receive proper care and attention. WHS and cancer typically run rampant, and the hedgehogs typically do not live very long. They are not properly socialized.
Petstores do not breed for the continuation of the species. They are in it for the money.
Find a reputable breeder and buy a hoglet that is worth the money. Please check the attached links below to find a breeder. Check that they are a part of the HBA, or are USDA liscenced.
A baby hedgehog can be purchased online or at a specialty pet store. A pet hedgehog may not be available as a pet in certain states or municipalities because of local regulations prohibiting it.

China. They sell everything there.
in the forest.
You can buy African Pygmy Hedgehogs at many pet shops as well as breeders.
Only buy a hedgehog from a knowledgeable and responsible BREEDER. I've included a link to the HBA breeders page. Please don't use the Hedgehog Central page - it hasn't been updated in years and the owners are none-responsive.Never, never buy a hedgehog from a pet store.
This is the way to get a hedgehog with out using a cheat engine. First go to the shop where you buy pets then click on the pet that is near hedgehog then click buy then don't color it . You should do it very fast click close then go to hedgehog click Ok then they will say you can find your hedge on your homepage. But it sometimes it does not work.
Yes they are but please don't buy one from a pet store. Most pet stores do not get their hedgehogs from a good breeder. They usually buy them from people who breed hedgehogs way too often. This leads to genetic disorders within the blood line. So if you do wish to buy a beautiful hedgehog, buy him or her from a reputable breeder. :)
